"Countdown, seven, six, five..."
The voice in the earpiece noticeably quivered, a thrill that ca from deep within. Even the most composed staff, witnessing the launch of EVE, would likely be too excited to speak.
Atop the tall building, White Tiger's face was stern, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the base entrance, yet his trembling hands betrayed his not-so-calm heart.
"White Tiger..."
Beside White Tiger, Flaming Sparrow wanted to speak but hesitated, finally mustering the courage but was interrupted by White Tiger raising his hand.
"We've been low-key for too long. It's ti for the Six Gods to make a high-profile move. A single EVE is enough to carve out a territory for us!"
None of the six present doubted EVE's power, that kind of terrifying destructive force that was almost taboo, comparable to a nuclear bomb! But unlike a nuclear bomb, which emphasizes widespread destruction—leaving tens or even hundreds of miles barren—EVE's damage radius, though reduced, had its close-range power dramatically increased. The energy in an instant was enough to obliterate anything!
More terrifying than a nuclear bomb, EVE could be detonated once it detected spiritual power, exploding in a small area, making it a lethal weapon specifically targeting cultivators!
Thus, once EVE is launched, trouble is bound to follow one after another and could even cause international panic! White Tiger, who issued the order unilaterally, would definitely face severe consequences.
International panic could be dealt with using excuses, but the real threat was that this high-profile operation by the Six Gods would inevitably attract the attention of the Taoists and other major cultivation forces, which did not align with the developnt plan of the Six Gods.
However, seeing White Tiger's determined expression, Flaming Sparrow no longer felt like advising, only feeling it wasn't worth it for White Tiger.
Xu Fan, that insignificant figure protected in every way by Azure Dragon, but why did White Tiger defend him just after hearing a few words from Xu Fan? Even to the point of disregarding himself?
"This Xu Fan is not simple, Azure Dragon, you've got good insight."
Seemingly understanding what Flaming Sparrow was thinking, White Tiger uttered this sentence, "That kid had already calculated our responses!"
Flaming Sparrow wanted to mutter how sneaky and cunning, even laugh scornfully. A kid chased embarrassed by a flying sword, was such a person worthy of White Tiger's high praise?
However, the voice in the earpiece interrupted Flaming Sparrow's unspoken words.
"Countdown, three, two, one, countdown complete. Preparations complete; requesting launch."
The five of Azure Dragon clenched their fists, their eyes glued to White Tiger's stern face. Without a mont's hesitation, White Tiger coldly said, "Permission granted to launch!"
"Received! Launching!"
Boom!
The entire Six Gods base trembled as a human-sized missile soared into the sky, everyone staring intently at the missile.
Snap!
Midair, the missile's casing fell away, revealing only a small core the size of an infant. This core was none other than EVE, a na that horrified the six of them!
The casing dropped, activating the program. EVE accelerated sharply, trailing a streak of light, roaring towards the base entrance.
The six tensed, their fists clenching tightly.
All at once, the six thought of a scenario.
The ti Xu Fan ntioned to Azure Dragon was rely his own distance estimation, after which he turned off his phone, cutting off communication.
This ant there could be a timing error!
With EVE's speed, a few seconds' error is enough to spell disaster! If Xu Fan was even seconds late, and EVE flew through, Xu Fan under a misunderstanding could destroy the entire Six Gods base, causing them a huge loss!
"Quickly contact Xu Fan!"
White Tiger's expression changed abruptly as he turned back quickly, shouting to Azure Dragon. But before Azure Dragon could pull out his phone, he shook his head, "No need, there's no ti."
A few seconds' error is deadly, enough ti to call and explain to Xu Fan does not exist.
The five wore expressions of extre unease, all previously focused on EVE, none thought of this, and Flaming Sparrow, already peeved with Xu Fan, ground his teeth in hatred for him.
"I knew this Xu Fan was no good! Maybe he's deliberately mocking us! How can he estimate such a long distance with the naked eye?"
Whoosh!
As Flaming Sparrow cursed aloud, a sharp, massive sound suddenly echoed from the sky, like a knife scraping tal, the air itself violently vibrating!
More terrifying, a sharpness crawled into everyone's hearts, as if a flying sword had locked onto their throats, unavoidable!
This...
Before the six could be stunned, they saw two streaks of light, one chasing the other, nearly rged, slicing through the sky from afar!
"Xu Fan!"
Azure Dragon exclaid, voice full of excitent, tinged with deep fear.
Upon receiving Xu Fan's call, Azure Dragon had so skepticism; a flying sword capable of threatening and even destroying a Kai Yang Realm master? What kind of sword could be so terrifying? Azure Dragon thought Xu Fan might be exaggerating.
However, now inside, Azure Dragon felt only shock. For himself, a strong Mysterious Light Realm master, yet still suppressed and immobilized at such a distance by that sword! If the target was him, he had no doubt he wouldn't last a single breath!
Flaming Sparrow, eyes wide and mouth agape, shivered uncontrollably, could not have imagined the sword's power was so formidable, nor that Xu Fan could reach Six Gods base under such a powerful sword's chase!
In a flash, Flaming Sparrow recalled Xu Fan gracefully erging from the flas, provocatively lifting Flaming Sparrow's chin.
And White Tiger, watching Xu Fan's swift approach, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Though White Tiger had already overestimated Xu Fan greatly, he never expected in the end that he'd have still underestimated him.
Over the phone, Xu Fan calmly threatened the Six Gods, citing a nearly half-minute gap with the sword, a ti Xu Fan used as leverage against them.
But now, the two streaks were practically rged! Within seconds, the sword would pierce Xu Fan!
A phrase involuntarily popped into White Tiger's mind: empty-handed white wolf!
